inpowder puffsl andhas for its general oloy ]ect the provision of apowder puff by nieansof which powdermay be evenly apey powderpuff soconstructed that it may -be made bylinachine and have. both inf point ofappearance and in function, all yof the other advantages heretoforehadonly withhand made powder puffs.

Tothis end the invention resides in ay machine made ypowder puff, theback or vstock of which is formed of textile materialv l and gathered orplaited and inade flexible so as to correspond with an ordinaryhand madepowder puff andk as distinguished from machine made powder puffsywhichas heretofore constructed have been `provided withrigid or unyieldingbacks or stocks and without pleats.y

Other objects will appeari'and be better" understood from thatembodiment of the invention of which the following is a specification,reference being' had to the accom panying drawings forming part thereof,and

clamping ring and showing the ymeans for?l securing` the handle.

The pad a of the powderpuff maybelof1 any preferred size and shape andwhen made circular, asshown, consists of a circu?z lar shaped body 5,formedof soft iiuffyrna-l terial, as for instance lambs'wool, swans p yThe marginaly portion of body 5 embraces an annulus 6,'y

down, velour and thelike.

:which operates toreenforce the pad, and `is formed of suitable rigidmaterial, as metal, and provided with an inwardly eXtenoing flangev 7,which functions to provide a genj erous bearing surface vand marginalreenforceinent for the iiatfaceof the body The flange 8 disposedk at`right angles to flange 7 opera-tes to reenforce the side of thefpadandthe relative sizes of the pad and annulus yG yare such as willvpermit of bending tliemargin'al portion around ythe plied* withoutsmearing or streaking,

of any fanciful contourshade or design.

The outer layer 9k conforms in contour to the pad a andis connected atitsjcentral portion to theinner layer l0 by an eyelet 1.3. The eyelet 13operates to secure the converging edges of the pleats or foldsy 14 ofthe'outer llayer 9 against displacement. An annulus- 1l corresponding incross section' to the annulus is provided for the back or stock ib andthev marginal portion ofthe outer layer 9 is suchthat it maybe bentaround the edge of the `anriulus.- v rlhe inner layer 10 conformsapproximately .to the area of the annulus'lland isk adapted to besecured therein by, a clamping` ri ngl2.`which is of al size toV snuglyfitjwithin the a'nnulusL and rthereby operate toirender thef inner layer10i taut or tensioned. i The area 'of the outer 'layer `9' is such thatits `inarginal"portion isy 'entendible over the edge ofv the annulus"l1, as shown in Figure 6, and wheny the parts are disposed of the backor stock .o is such that it may be n readilyz'assembled 'with the pad 'aby tele- Figure 5 is a detail partly in section of" scoping therewith.That face of the ring lwhicli' `is outermost when the stoclr 1sassembled, aslshown in Figure l, is provided x with Aupstruclr prongs 16which operate to eiigage'the free ends yof the doubled lengthV of'flexible materials, such as ribbon, cork stitutingtherhandlef15 andthereby hold thesaid handle'againstI displacement. lt will be noted byIreferring to'Figure 4; that the' intermediate portion 'of the vhandle l5extends through the eyelet 13 so as to provide a loop forming "aconvenient finger hold `in using. l `f The back orstock is assembledwith suit- Gti icoy
